There was a time where formal footwear came with an unspoken agreement: it would look impeccable and you would tolerate the rest.

This entailed long days at the office, wearing footwear often pinched, squeezed or chaffed your feet. From the minute you put them on, you’d be counting down the hours until it was time to head home, where at last, you could take them off and feel some relief for the evening. Only to wake up the next morning and do it all again.

However, for today’s working professional, the trade off is no longer worth it. In today’s world, we spend a lot of time on the move. Whether it’s enduring a long daily commute or wanting to stretch your legs during your lunch break, the modern day individual is constantly in motion as life goes on.

And that’s why you need footwear that can keep up with the pace.

How Rockport Technologies Improve Your Daily Comfort

Today, footwear needs to do so much more than simply look good.

Our footwear needs to keep up with our lifestyle, they need to be versatile enough to easily match different events, they need to be easy to pull on and off, all while looking presentable.

That might sound like a lot of demands all in one, but what if we told you this was not only possible, but available?

Since its conception, Rockport had one goal in mind: to design footwear for people who live life in motion. We recognised that style should NEVER sacrifice comfort, because that’s the only way to keep going.

So, we embarked on a journey of fusing sports technologies with elegant designs.

Many of our designs feature the following technologies:

1. TruTech technology in the heel area to absorb shock as you walk

2. Comfort footbeds so that your underfoot rests comfortably on cushioned platforms

3. DMX powered by Reebok which refers to the underfoot air system that shifts air from heel to toe, evenly distributing the pressure of each step.

But one of our newest and favourite comfort features is our step activated tech. This refers to the combination of the firm, curved counter piece and a stitched-down tongue, which allows you to step in and out of your shoes comfortably!

And while many people have the tendency to kick your shoes off without undoing the buckles or laces, with our step-activated technology, it ensures that your footwear will remain damage free.

So, no need to bend and adjust before stepping out that door. You also never have to concern yourself with struggling to undo your laces, simply slip on and off with ease! This convenience is not about novelty. It’s about efficiency.

The Modern Professionals Style

Although times have changed, professional style has not disappeared. There are various industries where people still want to separate their office footwear from their sneaker collection, and that’s perfectly fine!

But what we no longer need to do, wear uncomfortable footwear as a badge of honour. So, say goodbye to blisters, corns, or callouses.

The future of formal footwear lies in smarter designs, and this is our promise to you! Step into this new lifestyle, with your very own pair of Rockports.
